Organizations today are clamoring for digital transformation. In Mi-Corporation’s experience transforming operational processes, specifically mobile data collection processes, can provide benefits ranging from improved employee productivity and increased cost savings to faster intelligent data access and improved customer service.
It is therefore imperative that mobile data capture apps be placed in the hands of your workforce ASAP. However, it’s not as easy as snapping your fingers. According to Kinvey, it takes an average of 18 weeks to develop an iOS or Android application. What’s more, Gartner predicts the market demand for mobile app development services will grow at least five times faster than internal IT organizations' capacity to deliver them by the end of 2017. The best way to tackle these challenges is taking matters into your own hands. But how?
With Mi-Corporation’s NextGen Designer - you can quickly and easily design your own mobile data capture forms in hours rather than months.
Who can design these forms? You can!
You heard that right. The NextGen Designer is for everyone—and that means you. Now you and your designated team members can create the exact set of data capture services you need while freeing up your technical IT staff (as needed) to focus on more complex technology initiatives.
